+## Sub-subprojects
+
+It is not required to promote wrap files for subprojects into the main project
+any more. When configuring a subproject, meson will look for any wrap file or
+directory in the subproject's `subprojects/` directory and add them into the
+global list of available subprojects, to be used by any future `subproject()`
+call or `dependency()` fallback. If a subproject with the same name already exists,
+the new wrap file or directory is ignored. That means that the main project can
+always override any subproject's wrap files by providing their own, it also means
+the ordering in which subprojects are configured matters, if 2 subprojects provide
+foo.wrap only the one from the first subproject to be configured will be used.
